Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9518069A1] The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a pure and solid, sulfate- and hydroxide-based ferric compound such as ferric hydroxysulfate or sodium jarosite, the process comprising the following procedures: a) a sulfate- and/or chloride-based ferric salt is prepared, b) an acidic aqueous solution is prepared which comprises either sulfate ions and ferric ions or sulfate, chloride and ferric ions, c) the acidic aqueous solution is maintained for 2-12 h at a temperature of 60-220 DEG C for the production of a solid, sulfate- and hydroxide-based ferric compound, such as ferric hydroxysulfate or sodium jarosite, by hydrolysis, and d) the pure and solid sulfate- and hydroxide-based ferric compound, such as ferric hydroxysulfate or sodium jarosite, is separated from the acidic aqueous solution. The processes for the preparation of ferric hydroxysulfate and sodium jarosite differ substantially only in that in the preparation of sodium jarosite an acid aqueous solution is prepared which, in addition to the either sulfate and ferric ions or sulfate, chloride and ferric ions, also contains a water-soluble sodium compound, in which case sodium jarosite is formed instead of ferric hydroxysulfate in the hydrolysis of point c) of the process.
